Opinion Nice guys finish last

Iliked Mitt Romney. I thought the Romney/Ryan ticket was just what America needed to solve many of our economic problems. I thought for sure they would be elected by the American people. Both Mitt Romney and gohn McCain lost elections to Barrack Obama. Neither chose to attack the past record of Barrack Obama. It was obvious that President Obama did not play by WKRVH UuOHV. HH YLOLfiHG 0LWW 5RPnHy IRU KLV VuFFHVV DnG wHDOWK created at Bain Capital. In several Democratic National Committee ads lies were told about Romney’s job outsourcing and employee health care cuts when he was employed at Bain Capital. It was even suggested in an add that Mitt Romney actually was responsible for a death of a wife of a former Bain Capital employee who died of cancer several years after the employee and Romney left Bain.

Barrack Obama’s past is perhaps the worst of any presidential candidate in r.S. history. vet, neither Romney nor gohn McCain chose to make the American people aware of it. Certainly the main stream media chose not to expose Barrack Obama’s past. Thus it was the responsibility of the candidates and party leaders to expose this information in an orchestrated, professional manner with strong television ads prior to the election and also during the debates. Neither McCain nor Romney chose to initiate these.

In my opinion, Obama’s past poses a national security threat. He received a questionable real estate home purchase deal and political contributions from jailed felon, Syrian born Tony Rezko. Obama has had a long friendship with terrorist Bill Ayers. Ayers participated in the bombings of New vork City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the rnited States Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972, as he himself noted in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days. Ayers has never expressed remorse for his crimes. He was never convicted. He was released from prison when he was found not guilty based on a technicality. Obama, the politician, was responsible for political funding of nearly A2 million dollars to Bill Ayers’ causes after Ayers received a job teaching English to college students in Illinois. Obama worshiped in a Church for 20 years WKDW wDV VuSHUYLVHG Ey 5HYHUHnG :LOOLDP :ULJKW. :ULJKW RIfiFLated at the wedding ceremony of Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as their children’s baptisms.

Davis is a card carrying member of the Communist Party and is mentioned as his mentor numerous times in Obama’s own book, “Dreams from my Father”. Davis has strong ties to the Soviet rnion and has been under investigation by the FBI. Also in the book President Obama freely admits to felony marijuana and cocaine use. All of this is documented in a recent documentary produced by Dinesh D’Souza just before the election – “Obama 2016”. ,W wDV IHDWuUHG Ln ERx RIfiFHV DFURVV WKH FRunWUy yHW UHFHLYHG OLWWOH play in the mainstream media.

An alarming ad featuring the negatives SUHYLRuVOy PHnWLRnHG DnG GRFuPHnWHG Ln D’6RuzD’V fiOP wRuOG have been devastating. vet, Romney instead chose to be a “good guy” and ignore this. He is perhaps too honorable and too honest. If these facts were repeatedly brought up in political ads and during the debates it would force the mainstream media to focus on these items as they were forced to do with gohn Kerry’s “Swift Boat” scandal. We all know that Kerry lost the 2004 election to incumbent President, George W. Bush. Much credit is given to the Swift Boat veterans for depicting Kerry’s cowardly actions in sietnam for his loss to Bush. Obama’s past is much more dishonorable.

Why did Romney take the lies and unjust criticism from the Obama “Chicago style political machine”? Why did he not: 1. Immediately set the record straight and deny the false claims of the Obama machine and 2. Creatively inform the American public about the President’s anti-American past. D’Souza provided the facts...Romney just needed to “cash-in”. Republicans please take nRWH…nLFH JuyV finLVK ODVW!
